    摘要: An interconnect structure for a semiconductor device and its method of manufacture is described. The interconnect structure comprises a multi-layer structure having one or more stress-relief layers. In an embodiment, stress-relief layers are positioned between layers of electroplated copper or other conductive material. The stress-relief layer counteracts stress induced by the conductive material and helps prevent or reduce a pull-back void. For an interconnect structure using electroplated copper, the stress-relief layer may be formed by temporarily reducing the electroplating current, thereby causing a thin film of copper having a larger grain size to be formed between other layers of copper. The larger grain size typically exhibits more of a compressive stress than copper with a smaller grain size. The stress relief layer may also be formed of other materials, such as SIP-Cu, Ta, SiC, or the like.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided and includes a dielectric layer disposed over a substrate. A first non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the dielectric layer. At least one opening is formed through the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the dielectric layer. A second non-conductive barrier layer is formed over the first non-conductive barrier layer and within the opening. At least a portion of the second non-conductive barrier layer is removed, thereby at least partially exposing a top surface of the first non-conductive barrier layer and a bottom surface of the opening, with the second non-conductive barrier layer remaining on sidewalls of the opening. A seed layer and conductive layer is disposed in the opening.

    摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor-device having an electrical interconnect. The method produces having an improved barrier layer between the interconnect conductor and the dielectric material in which the interconnect recess is formed. A dielectric layer is formed on top of a wafer substrate having at least one contact region. An interconnect for servicing the contact region is fabricated by forming an interconnect recess and then depositing a primary barrier layer of tantalum nitride and subjecting it to a re-sputtering operation. A film layer of tantalum is then deposited and re-sputtered. Following this operation, a seed layer is formed, and then a conductor is used to fill the interconnect recess. Planerizing the surface of the wafer so that further fabrication may be performed may complete the process.

    摘要: Via structure and process flow for interconnection in a semiconductor product. A bottom metal layer is provided to represent a connection layer in the semiconductor product. An isolation layer on the bottom metal layer comprises a via hole exposing a portion of the bottom metal layer. The via hole comprises a sidewall and a bottom. A first barrier metal layer is disposed on the sidewall of the via hole, but not on the bottom of the via hole. A metal under-layer is formed on the bottom of the via hole and on the first barrier metal layer. A second barrier metal layer is formed on the metal under-layer. A metal fill layer fills the via hole. A lattice mismatch between the metal under-layer and the second barrier metal layer is less than about 5%.
